When you come to us for surgical care, your doctor will develop a customized treatment plan that draws from the expertise of a variety of surgical specialists.

Let the expertise of doctors and surgical care teams at El Camino Hospital put your mind at ease — whether you’re here for an outpatient procedure or surgery that requires a hospital stay. Our doctors, nurses and other members of the care team focus on your comfort and recovery, helping you get back to normal as quickly as possible.

Dedicated Surgery Expertise

Our surgical care team includes experienced professionals who work together to deliver the best care and results possible. Our surgeons work closely with your primary care doctor to make sure everyone on your team is informed about your care.

El Camino Hospital’s surgical team includes:

Anesthesiologists – Doctors who specialize in providing anesthesia for surgical procedures or for pain or anxiety.

Interventional radiology technologists – Medical professionals who are specially trained to assist interventional radiologists in using imaging technology — such as X-rays, CT and MRI — to guide catheter-based procedures.

Perioperative registered nurses – Nurses who work closely with surgical patients, family members and other healthcare professionals to help plan, implement and evaluate surgical treatment. El Camino Hospital's perioperative nurses have CNOR certification, which signifies nurses have specialized knowledge and skills.
